Time for the POWFP "Get Over Your Damn Self" award. This one goes to the Other Bush Administration in Florida...
Yahoo! News - Fla. Woman Gets Liquids After Bush OrderSome exerpts:
"Michael Schiavo, meanwhile, was "deeply troubled, angry and saddened that his wife's wishes have become a political pingpong," Felos said. He told NBC it was "an absolute horrible tragedy for Terri Schiavo, literally being abducted from her deathbed and her death process."
Felos filed a request for an injunction, arguing Terri Schiavo's constitutional rights were being violated, but Pinellas Circuit Court Judge George Greer denied it on technical grounds. Felos refiled the request and State Circuit Judge W. Douglas Baird also refused to grant it, instead asking Fejos to submit further arguments.
Harvard law professor Laurence Tribe said the action by Bush and the Legislature "violates the core principles" of a 1990 U.S. Supreme Court (news - web sites) decision. "
**********
"Although the Legislature acted swiftly, even some who supported the bill expressed concern about it.
"I hope, I really do hope we've done the right thing," said Senate President Jim King, a Republican. "I keep on thinking 'What if Terri didn't really want this done at all?' May God have mercy on all of us." "Shouldn't this tell you something? There are just some places that the government plainly doesn't belong!!! The foremost being
our bodies and their processes!!!!!This isn't right to life it's governmentaly inflicted torture!!!
